I work for a fortune 500, and go to lunch with friends at AWS and google. I have not met a single person that has hand written code in the last year.

I am in a bubble yes, but a bubble further down the path you are headed down. I am sorry to say it, but coding by hand is over.

Listen, I joined this profession because I loved writing code and I was good at it. My job is less interesting now, I no longer get to solve puzzles. I am not an advocate, just a realist. Hand writing code is dead.

EDIT: Its obviously not dead yet, but the path is clear, and the progress is further than people think. If you use chrome, you use vide code, if you use windows you use vibe code. If you have touched a single part of any large software companies products, I guarantee 30+% of what was merged in the last year was written with 100% pure AI and no IDE open at all.
